Nerdnote #147: on grief and MRI results
Wednesday, June 14, 2023 9:15pm

It's my baby's birthday today. She's one.

Her Auntie Nora is visiting from Tennessee this weeek, and they are currently watching ...Ru Paul's Drag Race? with her other mom in the livingroom. I am sitting alone in the kitchen with the remains of Larb Thai dinner and my thoughts on grief and injury.

I handed her off a few minutes ago when she spotted the black cat image on Dr Kelsey's CleanPro cat kibble bag tucked up in the top shelf of our pantry and got all excited, thinking it was our black cat Catapult, who passed away three weeks and two days ago.

Nerdnote #34: on grief
written August 17, 2017

I've been thinking about grief lately, watching it unfold in one of my patients eerily mirroring my own experience, and wondering why nobody's written about the way it runs its course, like a fever or an injury.

I wish I had kept better records of my own process, ennumerate the things I wish I'd known.
